LONDON, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 9, ! 809. , The Gazette of this Night will contain the Par tiCulars of the last Dispatches from Lord WEL LINGTON, dated the 91st ult.. We are happy to find that the anxious endeavours of his ardship to alleviate the fate of the wounded, lett in the hands of the enemY, Dave been attendee with all possible success, they receive. the utmost attention ,and o fessional assistance. The Gazette will also contain an account of the gallant aelion in which Sir ROBERT WILSON was concerned. The Portuguese, we are assured, con dueled themselves in the most spirited manner. It is with deep regret that we have heard rumours of disgraceful couthici on — the part or some of our Officers employed in the Army of Lord WELLING.. TON. We notice such rumours, in order to chew that we never shall overlook or suffer any miscon du& to pass without due reprobation, but declaring our resolution to abstain frOm any Mention of , parti. culars, until the charges assume a regular form. A Mad from Cadiz arrived this miming, by which' we have received Spanish Papers to the 27th ult.— We - have made the following extracts : ‘:‘ Gerona, the immortal Gerona, presents to the Spaniards one of the most perfect examples of pa triotism.. From the beginning of April, when it was first attacked, to the loth of August, it has con tinued to make the most obstinate defence, notwith standing the smallness of its garrison, the few suc cours it has received, and the violent assaults of the enemy. Up to the 7th of the present month (August) there have been thrown into it 10, t 66 bombs, 6178 grenades,. and 48,460 balls. " By later accounts we learn, that Gerona held out on the 17th. General BLAKE has transferred his head-quarters to Reus. On the I tth inst. the French retreated upon Barcelona, having been driven by our troops from their camp at Buscaius. Our scouts ad vanced on the 12th to Cruz Cubirita, without meet ing with any enemy. The army of Gaiiicia has al ready entered Castile. The Anglo-Spanish army has retreated to the plains, in order to give room for its cavalry, in which it is cuperior to the enemy, to a&. VICTOR and MORTIER. are observed by it SoULT.is between Cuiia and Plasentia, and SEBAS.. TIANI in La Mancha. " Our army of Gallicia is already in motion, and will. shortly proceed in quest of the enemy. Gene raL BLAKE has left a cores of troops to observe the French army which besieges Gerona. The army of Arragon is forming with aElivity, and-will soon be in a condition of repairing the misfortunes of Bel chite, especially if it is true that the French ha ve ordered some troops .from Saragossa to recruit in part the losses they sustained at Talavera. " The army , of General WELLESLEY has, been reinforced by 6000 English, and has repaired its losses, which were considerable, paractilarly in Offi cers : eternal gratitude to our faithful, to our gene rous Allies ! ! What exertions have they made-,-how many sacrifices have they undergone for our liberty— for the liberty of all Europe ! Expressions are want ed to celebrate worthily their valour, their generosity, their claims, to our everlasting gratitude Spanish breasts, only, are capable of appreciating what is due to such heroic conduet ; and we hesitate not to say, that they only are susceptible of sentiments whisch may reward British generosity." We have extraaed the following article from the Abeille du Nord of the 25 t h ult.• BeRLIN, JULY 3 1 .—The King has jest cal!ed to his Council, his old Minister, Baron de HAR DENBERG, who retired, about two years ago, to his estates. It is thought the administration of the in- terior will be confided to him ; and it is recolleded that he formerly managed in the principalites or Bayreuth and Anspach, the affair's off - the in terior, both to the satiOltaion of Government, and of individuals. If, in consequence of his health, or the difficulty of ,circumstances, M. DE HARDEN BERG cannot undertake this charge, it is intended to supply his place by our Grand Burgomaster, M. Da GERLXCH. This would be a great loss to this city, which can only console itself ,by the general satis fadion, and the advantages which will eventually re- . sult to the State, from the Administration of a man who has givep us so many proofs of his disinterest edness, his zeal, and his talents. Since receiykng the Letter from Harwich, placed under the heid of Naval News, we have received , another. Letter from the same place, datedyesterclay,. of which the following is an extraa : ‘f The trauskPorts whiclA have arrived, bf;tweep, aftz o'clock last night and one o'clock this day, from Flushing, convoyed by the Princess of Orange, of 74 guns, have on board the troops Of the Itth, sgth, and . 7gth, with some of the guards; and detach ments of sick, from a variety of regiments. The Princess of Grange brought up at the back of the Gariison, with about 600 men of the 79th Regiment ; ,they will be landed in small vessels." A Morning ,Paper Iras discovered that , Ministers feel disappointment at, the failure of fhe Expedition to Holland. We should have venttired to presume, even if we had not been informed by the Chronicle, that non-success, in any *a in which the in terests of their Country were involved, would have' ,been a cause of disappointment to all - Englishmen ; and we suspea that the idea insinuated by the Morn ing Chronicle, of the possibility of Ministers not being disappointed, must have arisen from a conscious ness of the feelings of the Party to which that Pape r is attached. An Administration (they may say) under which seven or eight important services have been planned and executed, promises to meet with some failures ! with almost as many as that memorable _combination of talent, which fitted out its three suc cessive Expeditions to disappointment and, disaster! a Matter truly of exultation to us, who partake in the derision which its uniform ill-success.bas brought down upon : consolidated wisdom! Having acknowledged that it is impossible not to feel disappointment at the result of the. late Expe- . dition, we protest most strongly against the.opinion, that where an Expedition fails in accomplishing all its objects, criminality must necessarily attach either 1 to the Ministers or the General ; an opinion which 1 can only be entertained in conjunaion with another, the most pusillanimous and taml which ever found • its wayiuto a Cabinet. Unless it be allowed that a force may possibly be employed unsuccessfully upon an important service, without a fault either in its plan or.execution, it must be held that on no possi ble occasion ought any hazard to be incurred. That in no conceivable crisis ought an ohje& to be at tempt, d, of which the attainment is not morally and physically certain, or which can be affe&ed by any possible combination of circumstances. • We have heard before, with regret and with gust, the sort of language now used, or rather the sort of principles now implied. We remember that when Sir JOHN Mooua was in the . heart of Spain, it was asked, " how Ministers dared to expose d Bri tish army to danger ?" as if danger and uncertainty were not inherent in the profession of arms, and es-, sential to the state of war. In the investigation, therefore, which, from time to time, as the facts disclose themselves, We shall • think i► our duty to pursue into the causes of our late, disappointment, we shall keep constantly in view this principle, That there may be ucasions, in which it is the imperious duty of a Statesman to make an attempt, where the chances of success and failure are equal, or even when the chances are against him•" We shall expe& to be attacked unmercifully for this doctrine, and we shall expect to be as.ailed in particular, by the whole class of husbanding politi cians, and prudent officers. But we shall persevere, and we shall apply the doarine equa fly, ou r in vestigation of the merits of the Government and Of the General. Conclemoation of either, at the present moment, is disgracefully premature. • The China Fleet have ah.arrived safe in the Downs On Thursday last his Royal Highness the Duke of SUSSEX, accompanied by General TurtNEa, of ►be Guards, lett Windsor Castle at ten o'clock, on. his woy to Bagley Hall, to join his Royal Brother the PRINCE of WALEs, and intends sleeping at his old favourite house, the Wilite Hart Inn, Chipping- Norton.' The German Papers state, that the reason why peace was nut concluded between the Russians and the Turks was, that the former required, as the ba sis of a treaty, the sutrender of Wallacl,ia and Mol davia; and toe dismissal of the FAiglish Ambassador' from Constantinople. These Claims were, however, rejected_ by the Porte. The dispatches received from Lord CoLLIRGkk'OOD on Thursday, as mentioned in our Paper of yesterday, stated that the Toulon fleet were ready to put to sea. We understand that the enewy's force consisted of seventeen sail of the line ; Lord COLMN.GWOOD had thirteen ships of the line, and three more were on .their way from Cadiz, to join him at the date of the last accounts. _ . Accounts received by the late conveyance state, that Sit' JOHN STUART, on being informed of the; Armistice on the Danube, conceived that his retain= ing possession of the Islands of Ischia and Procida, on the Neapolitan coast, could no longer anwser any good purpose, and accordingly withdrew his troops from both of those ports, and returned to Sicily. Extract of a Letter from Middleburgh, dated Sep tember 3 Most of the troops have embarked, or are embarking for England. About 14,500 rank and file are are to remain, which, with artillery, engineers, &c. will make about 16,000,, strong, a force considered at all times sufficient to retain the Islaa, however vulnerable it may be on the side of Cadsand, North Beveland, and the Slough passage. —lt will, hdwever, require activity and foresight on the part, of the G' l eneral commandipg, which qualities, are certainly very conspicuous. in Major-Qenera) GR AH AM, who has been celeter.l4n. the command" Mr. HUNTER, the Messenger, is arrived with Dig patcheS from Constantinople and Malta. We un derstand that the affairs of the Ottoman Porte go on prosperously, and that its warm and cordial friend ship for Great Britain becomes every day more strik ingly manifested. • Yesterday morning his MAJESTY, accompanied by - the Dukes of YORK, KENT., CAMBRIDGE, and CUM BERLAND, the Hon. Miss EGERTON, General FITZ.. ROY, and Col. TAYLOR, took his usual ride in Windsor Park, and at twelve o'clock returned to the Palace. .• Yesterday being the Wedding-day of their MA JESTIES, the same was observed at Windsor Palace, as usual; The Duchess of form arrived at Windsor on Thursday evening, And their Royal Highnesses the Dukes' of Yoak, )(ENT, and CUMBERLAND, ar rived yesterday morning, and congratulated 'their MAJESTIES on the occasion. The PRINCE intends to make an immediate tour of'severni of the Midland Counties which he has not yet visited. On Thursday next his Highness the Duke of BauNswlcK will leave town for the Continent. A frigate is ordered. to-be in readiness oti Yarmouth, to receive his Highness and Suite. Extra& of a' Letter from Berlin :—" Private let. tors from Russia, written before the Armistice was knewn there, seemed to insinuate that there was a leaning towards a reconciliation with England ; but this surmise was chiefly built upon the great loss which the Russian Revenue suffers fr'om the war.— In 1807, the Cestorn-house dues at Petersburgh and Cronstadt amounted to 4,982,460 , roubles, and hi 1808, only to 948,045 roubles." 'Private accounts mention an important fad with respect to the war between Russia and Turkey.—lt is stated that the Russians, 'having / made a desperate attack upon the fortress of Ismael, were - defeated, with the loss of 3400, men killed, including several Generals, together with 17 pieces of cannon. his added, that the Servians have also been defeated in several actions, and the heads of five hundred of the ;principal of them have been sent to Cobstantipape, A person in the capacity of a Supercargo arrived yesterday lrom the Brazils, by the way of Madeira. His loading out consisted of a.quantity of oil and rice. The latter he could not dispose of, and . was therefore under the disagreeable necessity of proceed- ing with it to Madeira, where he sold it to some ad vantage. The rest of his return cargo consisted of tallow, which he has brought here, and which will meet an excellent market. He describes the trade of Madeira as in a most flourishing state, and the harbour of Funchal crowded with American vessels; bUt he gives a most deplorable account of the state of commerce at Rio Janeiro. He,says that for a long time there has been a consignment of dry goods to that settlement, which. has not been sold at from 33 "to 50 per cent. under the invoice price. We copy the following from a paper of this morn ing. We cannot vouch ,for the authenticity of the statement, but it is so congenial with the usual polici of BUONAPARTE, that, coupled with recent mourn'. stances, we think it by no means improbable :--- BuoNAPARTE is at this moment playing a very deep game bet ween Russia' and Sweden. It is '' 7t 'known that both these Powers anxiously desire !he. restoration of Peace. Sweden was willing to put chase it with 'the sacrifice of Finland ; and Russia wanted nothing more than the annexation of this province to her Empire. Plenipotentiaries were; named on both sides, and the negociaiions wele to take place at Atm. .The Russian , Minister has been there for some tiro.?„; the Emperor ALEXANDER even repaired thither in person, to give every taci lily to the conclusion of the Treaty. Bat the -Swe dish Gove'rnment has all of a sudden become ex- , ceedingly sly ; and Baron STEDINGX, who was to 'hate managed its interest on the occasion; hat been vain expected, for some time past, by the Repro= sentative ot the other Power.' To the interference ot BOONAPARTE alone, we uncYrstanc.i, this delay to be imputed. • Russia having acted in subserviencY to his projects, as long as her support c,r conni‘anuo was any objeas to Ina), the time is now fast ap proaching when she must become, in her turn, the victim ot that power, to whose aggrandisement she has, from 'se4ish but very short-sighted motives , been assidwausly contributing. Beresaraata doe not wish that she stiouid get Finland ; and WO .already insinuated-to the Court of Stockholm, that if it - will defer the tregociation for a short time, be will secure for it better terms than it can now Om LAIC His MAJESTY having direded Sir Jost!PH BALMS' st9enatpl)rmioilLehissplaasntisitt3uorntteal Satpial.ofinisghstEtliciaeckpr(i;lilep;i breeders of Merino sheep, throughout England, Si[ J,IIN SEBRIGHT, Mr. COKE, of Norfolk, &c. eze• have received Royal Donations of 50 ewes and a rani eaLh.
